Las Palmas-Barcelona is a match valid for the 19th day of La Liga and is played Thursday at 9:30pm: TV, lineups and predictions
Rebounded by Atletico Madrid after recovery, Barcelona is currently fourth in the standings on equal points with the Colchoneros. But this is not so much the figure to be taken into account, which in any case gives the idea of a team that is not the one of last year despite some important graft, but it is the seven points from the leading duo Real Madrid-Girona that worries fans. After the triumph repeating will be very difficult.
There is time, objectively, but we need to win and we need to do it from the away match against Las Palmas. Which according to bookmakers is not a foregone conclusion. For several reasons. Told about the ranking situation of the Catalans, the hosts in the last five outings have lost only once, just in the last one of the year against Bilbao. In a nutshell, it is a fit team that has not lost at home since October 22 against Vallecano: a defeat that came in full recovery after missing a penalty kick in the first half. You will say, will this be enough to stop a Barcelona that absolutely needs points because even those behind are starting to push and could find themselves out of the Champions zone? In our humble opinion no, it will not be enough.
The prediction
So, in a match that should also give at least three goals overall, will come a victory for Xavi’s Barcelona, which as explained earlier has only one available result. Victory. And the Catalans will take it.
